La Costa Resort & Spa - North Course

This full-service luxury resort is situated on 400 rolling acres of scenic terrain and has been named the "Best Spa in the World" by The Robb Report. "GOLF Magazine" also named it to their 1996 list of "Silver Medal Resorts." This club hosts the Mercedes Championships, which kicks off the PGA Tour each year. Both courses are similar in design. The fairways are generous, but scattered with trees. The elevated greens putt true and are well bunkered. Both courses have water hazards coming into play on several holes. The terrain is flat and easy to walk, however, you must be accompanied by a caddie if you choose to walk. "GOLF Magazine" rated the South Course 99th best under the 1996 category of "Top 100 Courses You Can Play in the U.S." Joe Lee added the back nine to the South Course in 1973, and the back nine to the North Course in 1989. This large and exceptionally beautiful resort also offers spa facilities as well as a complete tennis program.

Course Reviews

Piney Valley Golf Course"Not too bad"This golf course offers an exersise of the mental game and practice on accuracy. This course is one of the nicest in the area. The front nine offers chances to let loose and holes to decide what club to hit. The back nine is more flat yet a bit more difficult due to the mind set of trying to reach in two. This course is not a five because easyness and choices of veggitation and is not a four because of it being on a military base ( security check gates) however for someone who doesn't want to travel an hour or two away its nothing to complain about. ---Team Big, Waynesville, MO

Calabasas Golf & Country Club"Excellent course"This is an well-designed, well-maintained course nestled among hills and oak trees about an hour west of downtown Los Angeles. It is a Robert Trent Jones designed course, located on land that was previously Warner Ranch. Many movies were filmed on this location, and each hole is named after one of the movies filmed there. It is not long, but it is a challege. Narrow fairways, oak trees, water, fast and undulating greens. Very interesting holes and pin placements.---Anonymous, Anonymous
